Vendor lineage
Nava - three companies that became one name
Unicom built the infrastructure, FlexVision built the software, and the merged company had to be both.
Nava is the result of merging business units that started as separate companies: Unicom, working in infrastructure, data centres and connectivity, and FlexVision, created for the development and support of IT platforms and infrastructure operations. Its sector expertise sits in payments, telecommunications, financial services and industry.
The combination describes a real change in what Brazilian enterprise buyers wanted. An organisation that once bought infrastructure from one supplier and software from another increasingly wanted one accountable party for a system that spans both - and the merger of an infrastructure company with a software one is the supply side answering that.
It also explains why the corporate record for firms like this is confusing: the legal entities persist under their original names in registries and court filings long after the brand has been unified, which is exactly what makes them hard to research and easy to leave out of a timeline.
